Valley Line LRT | TransEd/Marigold | City of Edmonton

[The_Cat]

Marigold tore up the west sidewalk and street at Meadowlark Road in late August. They had sidewalks built and the lower level of pavement down by mid-November. I think Marigold is capable of achieving completion at 124 Street by the end of June.

They're moving fast on 104 Ave too, though I'm still waiting to hear bacn regarding whether or not they plan to work 20/7 there like at the intersections.

Bonus shots of the progress on 107 St.

They are definitely working around the clock at 124st now; I live near there so can confirm

Yeah, I was wondering if their 20/7 shifts are also being used for the work on the 104 Ave corridor. I got a response saying that as of now, they're not doing any overnight work along it. They also said (in response to another question) that they're not planning to shut down 102 Ave this year like was mentioned in the Council meeting, but I'm still waiting on follow-up about whether any work is planned there for this year. Maybe I misunderstood them in that meeting, and they're actually planning to close it down next year.

Anyway, yesterday I went for a walk along 104 Ave between 124 St. and 109 St. Here are some pics of the work underway.

The LRT will also be a catalyst for major residential development. Look at the towers being built downtown, university and other locations. Many of them are in close proximity to the LRT.

There were a dozen or so workers between 110 St. and 118 St. on Saturday, and none on Sunday. That might be the normal pattern for 104 Ave this summer.

I'm guessing that OT would have to be paid on the weekend.

SPR and 156 Street are also under construction.

Depends how the contractors have set up the shifts. They could have a crew working Tuesday to Sunday, for example.
